Ron's right, of course.  Moreover, you need a tonearm and turntable that
can allow a good stylus to track correctly.

However, Linn is playing in a different ballpark.  You can get a pretty
good turntable/tonearm and stylus for, say, $250 or probably less.  Linn is
talking about TEN TIMES that much money.
